After getting out of the car, Yu Sangwan looked at the road ahead, shrouded in heavy rain, and clenched her fists, "Secretary-General Ou, can you spare some people for me? Young Master Lezheng... divert some people away, we cannot just leave him like this!"

"Is that so?" Ou Guanshen nodded hastily, "Alright, alright, that is necessary."

He immediately raised his hand to call some people over, "You all... follow Reporter Yu, search for the young master of the Lezheng Family, and make sure to find him."

But he hesitated for a moment, "Reporter Yu, are you really not coming with us? If the President wakes up, he will definitely want to see you first."

"No, no..." Yu Sangwan couldn’t bear it, but the sense of duty was engraved in her heart. If she left Le Zhengsheng behind at this time, could she still be considered human?

"Take good care of him, with you here... I’m relieved!"

Yu Sangwan turned around, got into the car... The rain was so heavy, with Le Zheng’s condition and those people chasing him, who knows how long he could last?

Chapter 418: The Woman From the Past

The rain showed no sign of letting up, and Yu Sangwan, with her people, walked a long way forward. The vast scene was empty.

Immediately, her heart followed with emptiness.

"Asheng!"

Yu Sangwan was wearing a raincoat, but her face was covered in water...

The more time passed, the more anxious she became. Lezheng... are you alright?

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the ground ahead, hitting the muddy surface...

"Asheng!" Yu Sangwan recognized Le Zhengsheng at a glance and hurriedly ran over.

At this moment, Le Zhengsheng was in a state of utter disarray, lying on the ground, already barely alive.

Yu Sangwan’s eyes welled with tears as she held him in her arms, "Asheng... I’m sorry, I’m sorry!"

"...Wan, Wan..." Le Zhengsheng laboriously opened his mouth, his difficult expression causing Yu Sangwan’s heart to break.

"Don’t talk! Asheng, I beg you... don’t talk! We’ll go back, we’ll go back now!"

Yu Sangwan cried out, "Someone! Please, someone come!"

Her tears mixed with the rain, dripping into Le Zhengsheng’s mouth...

...

Guan Chao.

Helian Si awoke, feeling weak all over.

"Ah Si, you’re awake?"

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Gong Xueyan with red eyes and tears still wet at the corners.

"Uh..." Helian Si frowned, his throat dry as if it wanted to catch fire.

"Daddy." Beside him, Susu slowly walked over, holding a cup of water and struggling to lift her hand, "Drink some water."

"..." Helian Si glanced at Susu, took the cup, and squinted to look at Gong Xueyan, "You?"

"Hmm?" Gong Xueyan was puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Her gaze darkened, "I know, we are no different from strangers now. Do you not want to see me? Then I’ll... I’ll leave..."

"Don’t!" Helian Si hurriedly grabbed hold of Gong Xueyan, "That’s not what I meant..."

Gong Xueyan froze, watching him hold her hand, her cheeks flushed red.

Susu looked at Helian Si, then at her mother, "Daddy, Mommy has been taking care of you! Auntie doesn’t like Mommy and always chases her away, but Mommy can’t be at ease, managing to sneak in whenever Auntie leaves..."

Helian Si frowned, his thin lips moved slightly, "Thank you for your efforts."

Gong Xueyan pressed her lips, slightly embarrassed, "Don’t say that. Actually, you have plenty of people to take care of you; it’s just me... being nosy."

She said as she stepped forward to help Helian Si up, "Come, sit up for a bit! The doctor said that if you wake up... you shouldn’t lie down all the time, let me help you."

"Alright." Helian Si slightly nodded, hesitantly asked, "Did I have a fever?"

"Hmm?" Gong Xueyan nodded, "Yes! When you came back, it was very high... I was so anxious I didn’t know what to do! You were constantly shivering..."

"You..." Helian Si vaguely remembered, "So you held me?"

"..."

Gong Xueyan was stunned, what did he mean? She did want to do that, but... wasn’t it too daring?

But how should she respond to his question?

Gong Xueyan steeled her heart and decided to take a gamble, "Yes, I did... At that time, nothing else worked. You kept saying you were cold... The heater was on, and you were covered with a blanket, but none of it worked."

"Tsk!"

Helian Si clicked his tongue, shut his eyes in frustration... people should not be vulnerable, once they are, they tend to do things they regret! This woman, he always resisted, and now he owed her a favor.

He couldn’t help but scrutinize Gong Xueyan... Actually, this woman had always been overlooked by him.

Since he was indeed Lu Jinxuan, then... was this woman, like Yu Sangwan, also once his woman?

Regrettably, his memory was a blank... But, Susu, this child, was an undeniable fact!

They must have had an intimate relationship to have a child.

Helian Si frowned, unable to comprehend... How could he have done such a thing before? Two women, two children...

He slightly parted his thin lips and asked, "Xueyan..."

"Hmm?" Gong Xueyan was startled, "What?"

She was too surprised, to the point of trembling slightly! She had never thought that Helian Si would use such a gentle tone to call her name.

"Xueyan." Helian Si repeated, "In the past, was I... good to you?"

"..." Gong Xueyan smiled awkwardly, nodded, "Yes. You were a very silent person, never spoke much... But, you were very responsible and always treated me well."

Helian Si frowned, "Sorry... I can’t remember anything. I have no impression of you."

Gong Xueyan’s expression darkened, forcing a smile and shaking her head, "It’s alright... I don’t ask for much now, just that Susu is well. I won’t think too much; I know... I am not worthy of you."

Helian Si didn’t know what to say, he just looked at Susu, "Rest assured, I will raise Susu well, as for us..."

He paused for a long time, during which Gong Xueyan held her breath.

He said, "I will give you an explanation, you will not be wronged."

"..." Gong Xueyan’s nose tingled, she covered her mouth and nodded, "Okay!"

Helian Si sighed softly, the frown on his brow never eased.

Perhaps, this was the outcome between him and Yu Sangwan... parting ways, leaving each to find their own happiness?

...

In the hospital, Le Zhengsheng came out of the operating room, but he had not yet woken up.

Outside, the doctor was speaking with Yu Sangwan.

"Doctor, how is he?"

The doctor sighed, "Ah... the external injuries are minor. But, you need to know, he is not like ordinary people! For ordinary people’s external injuries, stitching and treatment are enough... but, his hematopoietic system has already collapsed..."

"But!" Yu Sangwan’s heart tightened, "Wasn’t he said to be recovering?"

The doctor looked at her, "He was, but... any recovery process cannot withstand any mishap! You insisted on discharging him to recover at home, which was already risky. Now, the aggravated injuries have rendered the previous treatment futile!"

"..."

Yu Sangwan was stunned, feeling as if she had been dealt a heavy blow! What to do now? The outcome she least wanted to see had still happened!

"Doctor..." Her voice trembled, "What should we do now? I guarantee I will never let him leave the hospital again!"

The doctor shook his head and sighed, "For now, let’s observe! There are too many injuries, and we can’t give you a definite answer... The one thing I can tell you is that the situation doesn’t look optimistic."

Finally, he added, "With him being so weak, why on earth did you insist on discharging him? And let him come back covered in wounds?"

The doctor left, leaving Yu Sangwan standing dazed in place.

She stood there, afraid to enter the ward, wondering how she would face Lezheng? Should she say she didn’t expect this to happen, or that it wasn’t intentional?

But what use are such words when faced with Lezheng’s health?
